These idiots are so drunk on their own Kool aid that everyone in government is useless and corrupt and not actually working and that it's all a "waste."

Also that zillions of people are on government support that should not be, nevermind that its people, exactly like Musk, who have run their shitty corpos in such a way that people can't afford to exist anymore without government assistance.

I mean, technically he is right, there are a ton of people who should not be on government programs, that are, because profit profit profit companies have made life miserable and those people don't have a choice.

I have no idea about Google, I don't use it, but Alexa, fuck Alexa is just more and more and more awful. It barely hears you, it does the wrong thing, it seems to just, forget timers. The other day my wife asked "What is the weather on Sunday" and it started rattling off about the weather in San Diego. Like, no, WTF Alexa.

Not the whole site but I got banned from World News a month or so ago for making a Luigi related Mario Brothers joke.

Such a joke. I am not even remotely a small time Reddit user either, been there for like 15 years and probably have over a million Karma across 3-4 accounts.

Yeah that shits annoying. If you have something you need my location for, I will give you my zip code and pick from "nearby" on a map myself.

The people pushing these laws are hoping it will have the "California Effect."

Like when California says "Cars need to meet X emissions standards" so far makers just make cars everywhere meet those standards.

They are hoping that by making age verification a thing in a few states, it will become a thing everywhere.

This fails to realize that one, it's easy to geofence a state online (VPNs being anwork around). And Two, companies generally comply with California laws because, on the whole, California passes mostly positive limitations. It only makes the cars and world better if they all meet the better emissions standards. Blocking porn like this, is a net negative.

Also, on the subject of kids accessing porn. They are going to do it anyway, anyone thinking otherwise is oblivious to the world, and two, it's not up to the state to nanny this shit, it's up to the parents.

Vance would be worse. He is an actual politician and a believer in the Project 2025 bull shit. Trump probably would not have even run if he had not been staring down 100 barrels of jail time.

Hell, where the fuck is Trump?

Granted, I am absolutely not seeking him out, but it felt like he was everywhere in his first term with his stupid idiot rambling speeches.

But this round it's all DOGE and Musk and maybe, something more vague about what the "Trump Administration" is doing, but it feels like Trump isn't even around.

Hell, the other day I was wondering if he had died of a heart attack or something but they were just keeping the body locked up and pretending he was alive while Musk destroys the country.

Back in my day we paid $30 each for VHS Anime, you had to choose Duns or Subs ad it would be like 2 episodes of a 500 episode series.

So, it could be worse.

No no see, they SAID they were more fiscally conservative so it's 100% true!

/s

They are not reducing the debt because they are fiscally conservative, that's the sound byte they play for idiot suckers. All they are doing is cutting shit until it fails so they can point to it about how much "government doesn't work" then they can just turn it into a privatized contract to price gouge the shit out of people for the same service they used to get much much more efficiently and cheaper than when it was part of the government.

The real shinning example here is the Health Insurance industry, which, as shown by basically every country that isn't a crappy hell hole, runs much better when it's centralize and universally the same for everyone.

But the US can't seem to grasp that and instead we get endlessly rising costs because profits profits profits! On top of needing it to be a mechanism to strip elderly people of as much wealth as possible to prevent the unwashed masses from ever actually gaining any sort of generational wealth and power.

The Crypto Industry is full of Libertarian idiots who are not Liberal/Blue in any way shape of form. Its just another scam tool for assholes to sucker idiots out of money and it's never ever going to amount to anything more than that.

At least you are able to admit it's your opinion and not a fact.
